EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense anticipation and defiance. In the center of the frame, we see a cartridge marked with red iron, symbolizing the imminent departure of its owner for the treacherous galleys. This powerful image is taken from "Cartridge, king of the bandits" an intriguing 19th-century artwork by an unknown artist. The engraving showcases a malefactor named Cartridge, who was known for his involvement in smuggling and contraband activities. The artist skillfully portrays Cartridge's determination and resilience as he prepares to face his fate on board one of these dreaded galleys. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and danger, heightened by Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills. The attention to detail in capturing every line and texture adds depth to this historical scene. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection but has been made available through Fine Art Finder. It serves as a reminder of the turbulent times during which it was created - an era when smugglers like Cartridge were both feared and admired for their audacity. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this important part of our history, allowing us to reflect upon the lives led by individuals like Cartridge while also appreciating their complex stories within society at large.
